Alex Conners: 5'0, Virgo. Positive traits of Virgos: brave, sincere, dynamic, freedom loving, spontaneous, adventurous, takes initiatives, inspiring, and child-like enthusiasm. Negative traits of Virgos: rushing into things, ego, demanding everything immediately, and reacting.

Theme song? I'm Alive by Becca. I don't own any anime or their characters. I only own Alex and I deeply apologize for all the Black Butler references...and others.

Oh! I have officially decided the Alex's voice is Mai from the anime "Ghost Hunt". English dubbed, of course.

After watching multiple anime scenes, I am tempted to throw in a Yandere somewhere...mainly chasing after Alex...I don't know! XD It would be so weird, but hilarious, but sad, but glorious at the same time! Ah...I'm a terrible person. Then again, I'm practically a Tsundere to all my friends, except Emily to whom I'm a Tsunshun, so technically I AM a jerk...Haha. XD I watch too much anime and read too much manga...

What kind of "Anime cliche" do you guys thing Alex is? Yandere, (Obviously, not..I hope XD) Tsundere, Kuudere, Coodere, Tsunshun, Deredere, Dandere, what? Honestly, I kinda think of her as a "Lolita" for some reason with a little bit of "Tsun" in her.

DISCLAIMER! I DO NOT OWN OURAN HIGHSCHOOL HOST CLUB, CAUSE IF I DID, ALEX AND MY OTHER OC ISAMI FUJIOKA WOULD BE IN IT. HARUHI AND TAMAKI WOULD KISS IN THE ANIME AND...STUFF. I ALSO DO NOT OWN ANY REFERENCES I MAKE IN THIS TO OTHER ANIMES AND MANGAS AND BOOKS. I AM NINJA BUT NOT THAT NINJA.

I'm seriously starting to debate whether to make this M rated or not, due to all the "Grim" scenes I'm writing. O.o Should I even be writing this kind of stuff at my age? XD People might start to wonder what kind of environment I grew up in or something!

"Are you sure you're alright, Alex?" Haruhi questioned the brunette worriedly, frowning. The girl nodded and smiled at Haruhi, waving her off.

"Yeah, I'm fine. It's just some water." Haruhi didn't fall for it. The girl had practically drowned three weeks ago and here she was, at the beach like nearly dying didn't affect her. Not to mention that she was the one who suggested it. Tamaki had agreed to it almost instantly, while Kyoya, the twins, Mitsukuni and herself took a little more convincing. "I can swim." She leaned back against the towel on the sand and grinned, giving a peace sign.

"Then why are you wearing a T-Shirt over your swim suit?" Alex hesitated, remembering that she was indeed wearing a black T-Shirt with a Pirated of the Caribbean design on it over top of her fuchsia swim suit. It was a magenta-looking fuchsia, with colors like purple and blue splashed and blurred onto it to give it color.

"I'm fine, Haruhi! Really!" Alex tried to convince her and opened her mouth to continue to say something, but was interrupted by a small cough. Shaking her head in slight irritation, she cleared her throat and said, "Honestly, it was just a small bump on the head. Even my bruises are gone! See!" She held out her pale arm for Haruhi to see, "Nothing there!"

"But still...it isn't normal for a person to suggest to go to a place with big bodies of water after drowning..." Alex grinned madly at that, brown eyes flashing mischievously as she leaned towards the brunette "male".

"You tend to find that I'm not normal, Haruhi."

"Don't fake a smile."

"You may not look it, but you are a Hitachiin." The memory ran in her head like a broken recorder, nearly impossible to get her mind to wrap around it. They...really accepted her, didn't they? They cared.


April 29, 2014

"The beach?" Haruhi asked in confusion, staring up at the brunette in shock. Alex wanted to go to the beach? After what just happened to her? "Are you feeling okay?"

Alex nodded enthusiastically, putting on her best act in order to get things flowing in the right order again, "Yeah! You know, the beach! Like, the Caribbean, or Fiji! Hikaru and Kaoru have vacation homes in both locations, so it shouldn't matter too much!"

"So that's," Hikaru began in realization as he placed his hands on his hips.

"Why you made us bring all out mother's latest swimsuit designs with us." Kaoru finished, arms crossed. Alex nodded enthusiastically, running over to the large line of swimsuits.

"Yeah! And, after careful consideration," She was just bull-shitting herself at this point by stealing the twins' lines; what she remembered of them anyway, "I decided that you should wear this pink bikini!" She gestured to it awkwardly, "You know...the ruffles? Yeah! It would look cute on you!"

Hikaru added after observing it for a few moments, "It would hide the fact that she had no figure..."

"Yeah," Kaoru agreed, "a one-piece suit would reveal how much she is lacking and activating the tear-glands of the readers!"

Haruhi looked down at her Ouran sweater and tugged a little at the chest area, muttering to herself, "I wear it because it's comfortable..." She was truly a pitiful A-Cup. Alex quickly moved over and patted Haruhi on the shoulder awkwardly in an attempt to be comforting.

"There, there...You're still beautiful, Haruhi." Haruhi blinked and stared at Alex with her big dark brown doe eyes. It was funny, in a way, at how much similarities Alex and Haruhi had in appearance. They both were short, had brown hair and brown doe eyes-albeit they're of different shades-and both didn't seem to care much about appearances. However, despite the similarities, there were the differences.

Both were generally lazy, but Alex was more active than Haruhi and Haruhi was smarter in more areas than Alex. Haruhi got along with everybody, while Alex had slight troubles with socializing. Haruhi wasn't aware of feelings like "love" or "like", while Alex understood them perfectly. Alex was the closest thing to a "Shadow Queen", as the twins would put it, and had Kyoya as a best friend. If anything, Tamaki was the closest thing Haruhi had to a guy best friend-not counting the devilish twins, of course. The twins were Alex's family, as she had none.

But the two girls were close-even if it didn't look like it most of the time.

"But, even so..." The twins began, moving over to Alex and pulling her away from Haruhi, "No beach."

The brunette's eyes widened in shock, and hidden horror, "What!? Why!?"

"You nearly drowned a chapter ago! We're not letting you go near any large bodies of water for a long time!"

"But I'm fine!"

"I agree," Kyoya spoke, writing something in his little black book as he was sitting in his usual chair on the left side of the couch, taking a drink of his black coffee, "I'm not too comfortable with letting you nearly drown again." Especially since I was the one who put you in that current pool... His glasses covered his eyes and his lips tilted downwards in a drown. "I don't want to have to deal with all the paperwork and charges that will be pressed onto the Host Club if one of our members die because of a silly trip."

Haruhi sweatdropped, watching as stress lines formed on Alex's face. That was cold...even for him. Why is he hiding his worry again? Haruhi was observant, and despite her own obliviousness to her own feelings, she could tell Kyoya and Alex cared a lot about each other. He just didn't understand why they tried to hide their feelings.

Alex had anime tears streaming down her face comically as she whined, "But, Kyoya~! I'll be fine! Besides, if I die, then you guys won't have to put up with my annoying-ness anymore! You should be happy about that!" She didn't really mean what she was saying, but she was taken aback by the dark look he gave her after her sentence.

"Don't joke about that." He muttered darkly. His was glaring at her from over his coffee mug, legs still crossed from his spot in the chair. Feeling a chill run down her spine, the girl swallowed before raising her arm up as she coughed into her sleeve, a small look of pain forming on her features before she attempted to hide it away.

"I agree, Lexi-Chan," Mitsukuni spoke, clutching his Usa-Chan tightly to his chest as he looked up at the girl with worried and sad eyes, "I don't think you should joke about that kind of thing. You really scared us, y'know? After you fell unconscious when Kyo-Chan picked you up, we all thought you weren't going to make it...again."

"Yeah." Mori said with his usual blank face and deep voice. "No Beach."

Alex started to feel her heart drop into her stomach, realizing that she just started to screw up the entire plot. The show was supposed to be about Haruhi, not convincing Alex not to go drown. She was trying to get things back on track, but her incident-prone nature was starting to make that impossible.

Luckily, Tamaki walked in the club room at the perfect moment, for he asked excitedly, "Beach? Did someone say beach!?"

Haruhi spoke, eyes drifting over to the curious and excited blonde, "Alex is trying to convince everyone to go on a trip to the beach."

"I think it's a great idea!" Tamaki agreed almost instantly, holding up an index finger as he marched over to Alex and placed a hand on the brunette's shoulder. The girl nodded frantically, realizing that if Tamaki was willing to go along with it, that the rest of the Host Club would have to agree eventually.

"Yeah, see! "Daddy" likes it!" She added emphasis on the "Daddy" to boost her chances of getting everyone to going on a trip to the beach.

Judging by the way everyone was looking at her, they knew it too.

"We said, "No", Alex!" The twins argued, frowning deeply at her as they crossed their arms, "We're not having you nearly drown again!"

"I'm not going to drown again! That was a one time thing, guys!"

Haruhi cut in, trying to stop any further arguments, "Can we please not argue?" She paused, not really wanting to take Alex's side in this argement, but having to add, "I don't want her to drown either, but what happened with the current pool at Kyoya-Sempai's family resort was an accident. The beach should be safer. So long as she stay near the shore-"

"Haru-Chan's right..." Mitsukuni added reluctantly, realizing that what the brunette said was true. Alex's heart flew back up into her chest, a grin forming on her face.

"Yeah! See! Tamaki, Haruhi, and Mitsukuni agree with me!"

"We're still saying "no"!"

"...You guys will get to see Haruhi in a swimsuit?" Alex tried to persuade, only getting a sour look from the only other female in the room.

"Don't use me as bait."

"Still, "No"!"

Alex feel to her knees, tears streaming down her face again as she cried comically, "Guys! Please~!?" She started talking at a rapid pace, but slow enough that they were all able to understand, "I know you don't really want me to go swimming again because you think I'll drown and die, but I won't, promise, I swear I won't! It was an accident last time and the resort was still under construction so really, anything could've happened to not only me, but you guys as well and-and, Haruhi really likes beaches and we haven't really done something for her that she enjoyed yet other than the Christmas Party, not counting the fact that she got her first kiss stolen, but hey, so did I so that doesn't really count, but still~! Please!" She literally leaned over and placed her hands against the ground in the "Begging" position, "Pleeeeeease! I'm sorry, I really am, I promise it won't happen again!"

Tamaki looked up at Haruhi in shock, "Haruhi...is that true? Do you really like the beaches?"

"Wait," Hikaru began in confusion, "I though you said you weren't into stuff like that?"

Haruhi shrugged from her spot at her desk where she was supposed to be studying, "It's true that I'm not a big fan of water parks and stuff like that, but I do enjoy the beaches."

Kyoya sighed and tapped his pencil against his clipboard, placing his coffee mug down on the table in front of him, "You really won't stop unless we agree, will you?"

Alex looked up at the dark haired man, hope shining in her eyes as she sat up on the ground.

"You're such a damn moron...but, if Tamaki agrees with it, I don't see why I should be so adamant on refusing." He barely had time to register the fact that Alex had stood and started to run in his direction before she tackled him in a hug, wrapping her arms around his neck as she sat on his lap,

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you," She kissed his right cheek, not fully realizing what she had done before she hugged him again, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you-!" She paused, realizing what she had just done, and pulled back quickly with a bright red face as she stared at the man in front of her, whose cheeks were coated lightly with a pale pink. She jumped off his lap, stumbling backwards and shouting when her leg hit the table that was in front of the chair he was sitting at and screamed when collapsed on her back on the ground, groaning his pain.

"That...tickled," She grunted, a bruise forming on her left calf from where she scraped it, a bit of blood poking out of her skin.

"Mommy, Mommy, Alex hurt herself again!" Tamaki cried, running over and clinging to Kyoya as he pointed childishly at the wounded brunette. Kyoya sighed, trying to ignore the feeling on his cheek he received when Alex had kissed him in the spur-of-the-moment and asked no one as he pulled out a bandaid and some ointment out of his jacket pocket,

"Is it my fate to be saddled with four kids at only seventeen? What's happening to my youth?" Alex continued to complain about Kyoya putting ointment on her scrape even though she said it was fine.


May 2, 2014

After watching Tamaki and the twins do their "Host" acts for the female guests, Haruhi groaned and leaned over, resting her head against Alex's shoulder.

"Ugh...Why?" Haruhi, despite being reluctant on the idea on the first place, just wanted a normal day at the beach. Alex felt her eyes trail over to Kyoya, who was holding up a clip board as he kept track of each girl's time with Tamaki and made sure no one cut in line.

"You're alone time with Tamaki is up. Next lady, please proceed."

"This sucks," Haruhi commented dryly, Alex awkwardly wrapping an arm around the other female's shoulders as she patted her in an attempt to be comforting, "I thought going to the beach would mean a day off."

"Dere, dere, Haruhi...Dere, Dere." She refused to remove her gaze from Kyoya though, her eyes not wanting to miss a single second. She was forced to remove her gaze however when Haruhi stated bluntly,

"You're staring at Kyoya-Sempai again, Alex."

Red covered Alex's cheeks as she exclaimed, "Wh-What? No, I'm not!" Haruhi's dark eyes bored into her lighter ones for a moment before she sighed and sat up, staring strangely at the weird dance moves Mori, Misukuni, and several female and male guests were doing.

"Um, Haruhi, Alex," A female voice interrupted, and Alex briefly registered it as Kurakano's, "aren't you two going to go swimming with us?"

Haruhi removed herself from Alex completely and Alex did the same with Haruhi, the taller brunette saying, "Ah, no, I like looking at the sea from a safer distance."

Alex blinked at the girl with the black hair, recognizing her but not able to name her, before it hit her, "Akiko! What'd you do to your hair; it looks different?"

The Toph-fan blushed in embarrassment and raised a hand to her hair, which he was allowed her bangs to fall over her forehead nearly and tied it up in a pony tail with a blue ribbon, "Ah, well, I...I wanted to try something different today. Does it look weird?" Akiko was wearing a blue bikini with a skirt, the top crossing around the back and wrapping around her neck.

Alex shook her head, grinning and giving the girl's a thumbs up, "Nope! Looks great!" Her blush darkened.

"Ah, thank you...Do-Do you think Nagihiko-kun would like it?"

Nagihiko...Oh! The weird metaphor dude! "Oh, yeah! Go for it! You two would look absolutely adorable together!"

"Ah...You-You thinks so?" Akiko seemed to have a split-personality of some sort. On some days, she could be positively outgoing and daring, while others she was shy just like the day she met her and today. "Well, if you two aren't going to swim, would you mind if we sat here with you?"

Haruhi looked at them with a charming confused smile, "But why? You girls should go swim-you got cute swimsuits on. Why not show them off?"

"Yeah! Go show Nagihiko a girl worth fighting for!" Alex cheered Akiko on, who blushed intensely at both her and Haruhi's comments. I totally did not just make a Mulan reference...Hehe.

"O-Okay..." Rina stuttered, her tan face coated in a blush.

As the three girls walked away, Alex accidentally tuned in onto the twins and Kyoya conversation.

"I know," Kaoru groaned, "But with the ladies all here, Haruhi can't change into her swimsuit!"

Hikaru seemed to look like he realized something and Alex froze when he turned to look at her, "Speaking of which...Alex, why the hell are you wearing that T-shirt?" He called over, causing the girl to look away nervously. "You're wearing your swim suit, aren't you?"

"N-No..."

Kaoru grinned, "Liar." He and his brother started to walk over to her and Haruhi, "I made sure that the maids put you in one, the same one you wore at the resort last chapter, too."

"So, hurry up and take it off!" Hikaru finished, a devilish smirk on his face.

Alex's face paled as she stumbled, crawling backwards to hide behind Haruhi, "N-No-get off! Noooo!" She screamed bloody murder and everyone stopped what they were doing to stare. A few gained nosebleeds, a few fainted, a few glared, and, let's be honest here, a few girls squealed while a couple of guys cursed in jealousy. "No! Stop it!" She screamed and grabbed what she could of her shirt to tug it down to make sure the twins couldn't rip it off of her, "No!" She kicked her legs at the twins, her bare foot hitting Kaoru in the stomach and making him groan in pain, only to gave him quickly reach out and wrap his hand around her ankle, tickling her foot and making her grip on the shirt release instantly as she went into a bout of full-blown, uncontrollable, laughter.

She screamed for help and Tamaki heard, for he had hit the twins with an umbrella he found sticking out of the ground screaming, "STOP SEXUALLY HARASSING MY DAUGHTER~!" Thank you for his pure soul. Tamaki went into tears again, running to Kyoya as he pointed at the pile of twins, "Mommy! Hikaru and Kaoru are doing nasty things to their sister again! No dinner for them, tonight!"

Kyoya sighed again, "Why must you always insist on referring to me as your wife?" Alex burst out laughing, pointing at him obnoxiously before realizing that she had nothing to cover her top and scars, left in her two-piece swim suit. Her face grew dark red as horror dawned on it, quickly wrapping her arms around her chest to cover herself as best as she could.

She was ugly after all. Who would want to see the body of a girl covered in nothing but scars? She was practically damaged goods, after all. Squeezing her eyes shut, she tensed and curled herself up into a ball when someone placed a gentle hand on her shoulder.

"Dude, what happened to her arm?"

"What happened to her shoulder?"

"All those scars..." The whispers wouldn't stop. Alex tried to tune them out, but they kept reaching her ears and entering her mind and engraving themselves into her memory. She just wanted it to stop. She was ugly. She tried to hide it. She tried to hide how she felt, but it was getting harder and harder each day and this-this was just utter embarrassment and humiliation.

She was subjected to this and there was nothing she could do to prevent it. She brought them here to the beach, and now they were getting back at her for it.

"Alex..." She didn't recognize the voice, so it was a girl she didn't know who had touched her shoulder, "Are you alright?"

"Quit being a baby and stand already," Akira, Alex realized, growled at the girl. "What happened to the annoying twat that managed to forgive those who hurt her, huh? Go back to that crazy chick."

"Talk about badass!" A boy declared, Shino, Alex thinks. The girl lifted her head up in confusion, eyes hidden behind her long bangs which now stopped just below her nose. Her eyes stung with held back tears, unable to understand why people were saying such things.

"I'd prefer it if she was all beat up, but you gotta admit...looks pretty cool."

Haruhi leaned over and whispered to Alex so that only she could hear, "See...I told you no one cared."

Suddenly, a dark aura enveloped Alex and everybody surrounding her backed up in fear, not counting Haruhi. She stood, very slowly removing her arms from her chest as she turned around to give the twins her darkest glare.

They shivered, sweat beading down their bodies as stress lines formed on their faces, trembling from complete and utter terror as they held onto each other as the girl neared them.

"Hikaru...Kaoru..." She began, voice deepening to the point where it sounded like she was about to commit murder.

The twins screamed as she whacked them multiple times upside their heads, angered. Their screams only increased when Nekozawa appeared behind them and asked in his (Sexy) creepy deep voice, "Everyone having fun? Bwahahaha..." Tamaki let out a scream of complete and unadulterated terror at the sight of the black-clad male.

Hikaru and Kaoru screamed, clutching each other in hopes that they would spared before both Alex and Nekozawa team up and kill them, "WHY DID IT HAVE TO NEKOZAWA-SEMPAI'S PRIVATE BEACH!?"

Tamaki let out a squeal, glaring at Kyoya, "Kyoya, I told you I wanted to go to your private beach!"

"But Alex and Haruhi wanted to go somewhere close by domestically and Haruhi doesn't have a passport," He informed calmly. Everyone watched as Nekozawa creepily took out an umbrella with drapes hanging from it and held it above him, sticking Beelzenef out in the sunlight.

"Come here, Beelzenef, you should get a tan." He laughed. He then turned to look at the giant cat rock up on the cliff and explained, "The cat rock is where each generation of the Nekozawa family place their offerings to worship our family's guardian deity. There's a legend that says if you jump off into the sea from there, you will never resurface."

Alex spoke, grinning, "Sweet." Nekozawa turned her, a smile on Beelzenef's face from the fact that someone liked his horror stories. Tamaki had tears in his eyes, while Hikaru and Kaoru deadpanned,

"Oh, pretty awesome. Great. How cool." Their voices were drooling with sarcasm.

Nekozawa looked up at the cat cliff-face in surprise, a smirk clear in his voice, "Would you look at that? Looks like we got a brave new challenger."

Everyone looked up at the cliff, and Tamaki, the twins, and Alex all screamed in horror at the sight of Haruhi leaning over the edge of the cliff, "HARUHIIIII!"They all screamed, running to the cliff as fast as their legs would take them-Alex trailing behind because of her short legs.

When they arrived, the twins and Tamaki had quickly tackled Haruhi away from the edge into the middle of the cave floor, panting. Alex finally ran up, leaning over as she rested her hands on her knees from exhaustion, "God..damn it...can't-can't breathe!" She huffed and collapsed onto her butt, exhausted.

"A-Almost lost Haruhi...my precious daughter..."

"Damn it," Hikaru cursed, trying to catch his breath from his spot on the cold floor.

Kaoru muttered, breathing heavily, "Didn't even realize what I was doing..." Tamaki tried to calm himself, gripping onto a skull when he collapsed. Wait...

He lifted his gaze up and locked his cerulean blue eyes onto the skull, only to let out an ear-splitting scream. Standing, he threw the skull up into the air in complete and utter fear as he screamed as loud as his lungs would let him as he nearly backed up into a blood sword-in-the-stone.

Nekozawa's laughter echoed in the cave as he explained, causing Alex to look at him with wide eyes, "I tried to create a more...artistic atmosphere for everybody's enjoyment. It would be an honor if it's to your liking..."

Now that everyone looked around the cave, it looked something like it was out of a horror movie. Alex grinned ear-to-ear, letting out a laugh, "Totally! This is epic!"

Everyone but Alex sweatdropped, and Tamaki just screamed in horror. Nekozawa moved up to Alex and with a creepy smile, he made movements with his puppet, saying, "Beelzenef says, "Thank you"."

She grinned at him, "Tell Beelzenef I say, "You're Welcome"." Alex let out a shout when she was suddenly pulled back by Tamaki, who cried,

"Don't talk to him! You'll get cursed!"

"No, I won't!" Nekozawa turned his attention to said blonde, stars flashing in his eyes.

"And ever since I could remember, I've always wanted to establish a closer friendship with Tamaki..." Beelzenef rubbed his hands together evilly. Fear wrote itself on Tamaki's face as he screamed,

"Why!?" Alex snickered in amusement, a hand clasped over her mouth.


"So, Alex...where'd you get those scars?" Daichi questioned curiously-he had a feeling Kyoya knew, and was slightly peeved that he didn't, but refused to let his jealousy show. Alex tensed, before forcing herself to shrug nonchalantly.

"Meh, Hikaru and Kaoru ran me over with their limo and I got shot by a lousy mugger who was trying to kill Kaoru after they hit me with their car, after I stopped the mugger from robbing an old lady of her purse." Wow, it's been forever since she told someone that. The short, half-truth version, that is. Brings back memories of when she first joined the Host Club-by force, of course. Stupid Kyoya... She thought as she bit her lip, feeling her face heat up a little at the thought of the annoying spectacles wearing man.

Daichi's jaw dropped, not expecting such an explanation, "You-You're joking, right? That didn't really happen?" She shrugged and Daichi felt his face pale, Oh, my god...How are you not traumatized?"

Alex laughed nervously as she scratched her left arm, a habit she had found she couldn't break after doing it for so long, "Hehe...Lucky, I guess?"

Wrong. Alex was traumatized. She didn't want to die-alone.

"That kind of stuff just doesn't scare me."

Lie. She could feel someone staring at her from behind and tried to ignore the chill she felt going down her spine. Turning her head she saw Kyoya looking at her. She felt her face heat up and she quickly turned her head back around. Stop-Stop looking at me... She could feel her bottom lip trembling as she tried to stop herself from crying out and telling him to quit looking at her. She was pretty sure he knew what kind of effect he had on her, and did this to her on purpose...

Like that time in the kitchen, the annoying bastard... She thought as she narrowed her eyes. She remembered the way he trapped her against the sink counter, his arms pinning her and trapping her, his warm breathe grazing her ear and neck...The feeling of his chest pressed against her back, the heat radiating off of his body and the smell of him. He didn't wear any scent-sprays, so he just smelled of him. That lovely freshly-showered smell and that hint of mint... Before she even realized what she was doing, she had buried her red face into her hands, her arm pressed against her chest so she could feel her racing heart. Ugh...I hate him, so fucking much-the jerk. I hate him. Why does he keep doing this to me? Quit looking at me already! Ahhh! I can't take this much longer! She screamed in her head, utterly and completely embarrassed by her thoughts. She was crushing on him-she was crushing on him hard.

Is this how one realizes the difference between "like" and "love"? If so, does this mean that she "loves" him rather than "Like" him? Alex quickly went though everything in her mind and all the things that could point to "Like" and "Love" and just caring about said person in general.

It was true that he was her best friend, and that she...she cares about him, a lot, and would do anything to protect him, but that was how she was about all her friends. She-She risked her life for someone she didn't even know! Twice! So, that doesn't really say much about her feelings as it does her character. Uh, let's see... Unbeknownst to her, Daichi was staring her intently, watching every single facial expression she was making as she thought this, I-I told him about the-the "Other Half" thing, and I'm much more comfortable around him then anyone else. I freaking hugged him! I never did that when I liked Liam...back in my...dimension. She then remembered the incident during the last week of last month, and her face turned a strawberry red, Holy shit I kissed him-I-I mean, it was on the cheek so-so that wouldn't mean it would be suspicious, right? He wouldn't have noticed? Shit, what do I do!?

She felt her face fall slightly at the memory of how she would run to Ellena when she had these kinds of problems...Or the boy she called "Brother". Drake Connors. He wasn't really blood related, nor were Marie and Brianna, but they all had the same last names and thought of her as family. When you think about it, Connors is a very common last name. Ellena had been one of the few females to accept her for who she was not, not finding her annoying or irritating. She always said,

"Well I like you, so screw those people who don't." and "I love you, Alex. I can't hate you." She was possibly the only female she was close to that she didn't think of as family. Ellena was the only girl who ever tried to cheer her up and make her feel safe and secure.

And Kyoya, in his own strange little way, made her feel safe and secure as well and she loved the man to death for that. He made her feel safe just by being near her, he made her feel cared for and loved just by standing or hugging her, and despite his annoying little antics of his "Shadow King-ly-ness", he made her happy just by being her friend. It was weird, but she felt happy when he blurts out his emotions and yells at her, because it showed that he cared and worried about her-but it also bothered her because he hid his emotions and let them bottle up inside until he could no longer control it and let it out all at once. That wasn't good for a person, Alex would know, but that was how he was. That was how she was.

Their differences were often complimentary and their similarities were easily noticed, and what one lacks the other often gives. The two have a slight...mutual understanding of each other and in a way, it was because of that they were able to become friends. They respected each other for their talents and skills, and even their flaws and perfections.

Alex knew Kyoya hid behind walls because he was vulnerable on the inside, and she knew that he knew that she hid behind walls because emotions scared her as she couldn't predict them, despite the fact that she knew a lot about them.

He cared for her despite how much he tried to hide it, and even worried about her and comforted her when she most needed it, and it was because of that that she realized it would be almost impossible to live without him.

Alex froze when she realized this, Daichi noticing. Frowning in worry, he asked, "Alex...Are you alright? Alex?" She didn't hear him, too lost in her realization. Well, she heard someone call her name-she just ignored whoever it was.

I...can't live without him. I don't want to live without him. He's there. He's always there. Since I came here, there's practically never a time when I'm not with him, and the thought of not-not having him here with me... The tears pricked her eyes before she realized it and the pain in her chest became more prominent, her stomach twisting and turning uncomfortably at the realization.

Is this what "love" is? Is that difference between "Like" and "Love"?

Like is when you try hard to get someone to notice you, and that if they get disfigured, you'd stay by their side either way. That's how you know how you truly like someone.

But when you love someone, the very thought of them not being there with you...being gone and no longer by your side...it feels as though its tearing you to shreds and it's heartbreak all over again, only ten times worse because it would almost be like them being dead.

Alex loved-no, loves Kyoya, and after a few moments of thought, realized that she couldn't bear to live in a world-dimension-no, universe, without him.

The girl jumped when Daichi snapped his fingers in front of her face, causing her to reel back and stare at him with wide eyes. "Wh-What happened!? What'd I do!?"

"You zoned out with this strange smile on your face," He stated before frowning sadly, "Was it about him?"

"Who?" She asked, playing dumb despite the red blush that grew on her face.

Alex had thought it impossible to fall in love after only eight months, but when you spent almost every day with that person for eight months, it's pretty damn possible.

Daichi stared at her long and hard, before mushroom sighing as stress lined formed on his face, "Nevermind...Nice swimsuit by the way. Didn't think you of all people would end up with curves like that."

"Hah?" Alex said and looked down at herself before crossing her arms over her chest again, "Shut up, no one asked you anyway." He grinned at her.

"And to think that you're so self-conscious of it...how cute."

Getting uncomfortable, Alex stood saying, "Aaaand I'm out." She started power walking over to where she guessed Haruhi would be, only to hear a scream and freeze, making a decision to run towards the source hesitantly. Thinking that very same, Oh, what the hell, that she did that day, she ran as fast as her short legs could take her up that hill on the cliff, charging and slamming into the man who was groping Akiko and Rina, while the other man held Haruhi's wrist in a vice-like grip as Kurakano lay there on her bruised knees on the sand, clearly having been pushed forcefully.

The girls screamed as the man released them, stumbling and toppling backwards as Alex landed on him awkwardly. Aiming a punch to his gut, she cried out in pain when he sat up quickly and gripped her arm, turning it behind her back. Reeling her knee up, she kicked the man in the knee harshly causing him to scream as he pushed her forward, sending her stumbling and falling into the sand and scraping her knees. She flinched.

"Why you little-" The man started angrily, only to get cut off when Akiko popped up from behind and pushed him, sending him stumbling but not toppling. "Hey-Think you two are playing tough? Listen here, scar-face, you and your sissy-boy boyfriend can't take us on!" The man growled as he forcefully lifted Alex off the ground by her arm. He gripped it tightly, trying to draw out a sound of pain from the girl.

Alex had grounded her teeth together and was currently glaring at him from the corner of her eyes.

"Go run!" She heard Haruhi shout at the girls, who hesitated before running away. "Hurry!" They quickened their pace.

The man holding Haruhi growled before he threw her onto the ground and kicked her in the side, "Why you-" A grin spread across his face an idea formed in his mind, "How about a dip?" Alex's eyes widened and she struggled in the man's grip, crying out,

"Haruhi! Haruhi, look out-!" She shouted, but Haruhi wasn't able to move away in time for the man had already picked her up by the shirt and was dangling her over by the cliff, "No! NO!"

"Say good bye to your sissy-boy boyfriend, bitch."

"HARUHI!" Alex briefly registered the rest of the Host Club's voices before she had raised her knee up and kicked him where the sun don't shine. Squealing like a girl, the man released her as he fell to his knees.

"Alex, don't you-"

She had already dived in after the girl, taking in a deep breathe and folding her self into a ball as she slammed into the water. It hurt, she'll admit, but she had to get to Haruhi. She refused to let her die-she refused. If anyone was going to play in this death trap and lose, it would be her. Not Haruhi, her.

Ignoring the stinging pain in her eyes as she opened them, she kicked her legs in the water as she swam down, reaching as far out as she could with her short arms as she tried to grab onto Haruhi's shirt. Something rubbed against her side and she accidental opened her mouth to scream, jolting and causing water to enter her mouth. She swallowed it and nearly gagged, moving away from Haruhi's sinking form a bit before grounding her teeth together and narrowing her eyes in determination, swimming furiously despite how much her lungs were aching for air.

She was almost there. She could taste the disgusting water in her lungs and cursed silently at the fish that brushed her side, stretching her arms out and spreading her fingers, barely brushing against Haruhi's arm.

Almost...got it... Squinting her eyes, she felt lightheaded and her body started to feel heavier, which was probably the reason why she started to sink into the sea and was able to finally grasp the girl's arm. Reaching out with her other arm, she grabbed onto the back of Haruhi's shirt and awkwardly turned her around so her back was against her chest, the two of them sinking at an even faster pace now.

Alex knew. She knew she was going to have to let go if she wanted at least Haruhi to make it out of this alive. Knowing that she would be able to hold in for much longer, she was glad when she saw Tamaki's blurry figure swimming towards them quickly, blue eyes scanning the area before landing on them.

Mouthing, "I'm sorry", to him with a small smile, invisible tears blending in with the water surrounding them, she used the last of her strength to push Haruhi towards the blonde, sinking farther into the dark depths of the sea.

Like before, a face flashed in her mind and she gave one last struggle as she tried to kick herself up to the surface, but proved to weak and sank.

...

Tamaki's eyes widened at the look on Alex's face, despite the stinging pain the water was causing him, and watched in horror as she pushed Haruhi to him before closing her eyes and opening her mouth, allowing water to flow in and carry down into the deep depths. So in shock, he almost missed Haruhi as she started to sink again, and grabbed onto her and pulled her into his chest as he wrapped his arms around her, coming to a grave and hard decision that made his chest ache in pain as he swam up as fast as he could to the surface.

Carrying Haruhi bridal-style, tears pricking his eyes as he breathed heavily, he stepped out onto the shore with a solemn, frightened face. All the Host Club members ran over to him, obviously confused and worried and scared at the same time.

"Haruhi!"

"Haru-Chan!"

"Is she okay-where's Alex?"

Tamaki stared at them with scared, horrified eyes, "She-She's still down-I could only get Haruhi! Alex-She-" He wasn't even able to finish before Kyoya had thrown his shirt onto the collapsed brunette in Tamaki's arms and placed his glasses on her abdomen, running at break-neck speed before diving into the ocean, "K-Kyoya!"

"Is he crazy!?" Hikaru demanded, alarmed as he took a few steps towards the shore of the sea, frightened for both Kyoya, who had just went on a crazy scouting mission, and Alex, who had apparently drowned after giving Haruhi to Tamaki. "What the hell is he doing!?"

"Kyoya-Sempai! Come back!" Kaoru cried, eyes turning red and tears pricked them, "It's too late!"

Mitsukuni gripped Takashi's hand tightly, trying hard not to cry as he whispered, "She's probably at the bottom of the sea by now..."

Nekozawa's creepy laughter echoed around them, and Tamaki was too horrified at the thought of Alex's death to even be terrified of the man, "I wouldn't be so sure of that..." Beelzenef had a foreshadowing look on his face, his hands pressed together as a smile grew.

...

Kyoya could barely see, the waters depths so dark and that he was no longer wearing his glasses. If it wasn't for the fact that Alex was so pale and her swimsuit was so bright, he probably wouldn't have found her at all. She was laying on a rockface with her right arm and her feet dangling off of it. He swam as fast as he could, intent on making it out alive-making it out with her alive. He couldn't let Alex die. He wouldn't.

He wouldn't admit it, but he needed her there with him. Until he heard Tamaki say that he couldn't get her out, he didn't realize just how much he depended on Alex. In this world of insanity, it was almost a wonder why it was her that kept him sane.

She wasn't breathing, her skin pale and cold as he touched her, sliding his hands underneath her legs and the crook of her back as he pulled her to him. Her lips were slightly blue and that was when Kyoya realized that she would need CPR when they arrive back at the surface.

Your...more trouble...than you're worth! He thought in aggravation as he kicked his feet off the rockface, pressing her body close to his as he swam up to the surface as fast as he could without gaining whip-lash. Don't you die on me, damn it! He thought in desperation and anger. He was scared, for the second time in his life, Kyoya was scared. He was scared he was going to lose the annoying brunette because of two bastards who wanted "fun". If they're still there by the time he gets back up, he's gonna kill them himself.

His head hit the surface and he gasped, breathing in as much air as he could as he tried to rejuvenate his lungs. Sliding his hand down Alex's leg, he pushed her into a bridal-style similar to Tamaki's as he pulled her from underneath the water. He didn't bother walking-no, he was too frightened to walk.

He ran. He ran as fast as he could to the sand before plopping her down gently onto her back and gripping her chin and plugging her nose, opening her mouth and pressing his against it as he breathed air into her.

"Alex!" He heard his friends screaming, and some were probably even crying or at the very least holding back their tears, as he tried to conduct CPR on the girl.

"Is she alright?"

"Alex-" He tried to tune them out, pushing his large hands over the area where her heart would be and pressing down on it roughly eight times before opening her mouth and breathing air into her again. He pressed his ear against her chest to try and hear her heartbeat, and started to grow slightly panicked when he didn't hear anything.

"Is-"

"Shut up!" Kyoya snapped, glaring at them all before pressing down on her chest a few more times, growling darkly, "Wake. Up. Damn it!" Taking in another deep breathe of air, he tried again.

And again.

And again.

Pressing his lips against hers one last time, he prayed for a response-Kyoya wasn't religious in the slightest, but if she just came back to him, then he would consider it. He paused in his breathing air into her, feeling something wet slide against his cheek.

Kyoya realized he was crying, and before even realizing it, he had cupped her cheek with his hand and let his lips linger on hers for a moment before removing it and resting his forehead against hers, whispering with closed eyes, "Wake up...wake up, you damn moron."

Not getting a response, he let out an anguished scream before yelling as he slammed his fist down into the sand, scraping and causing his knuckles to bleed, "WAKE UP, DAMN IT!"

He wasn't even able to finish before Alex coughed harshly, trying to scream in terror as fear written itself on her face. Water bubbled out of her throat as her eyes opened-red. Bright red. Coughing harshly, water along with little crimson liquid splattered against the sand, her face contorting from fear to pain. Resting her head against the sand exhaustively, she was barely able to make out a pair of onyx brown eyes before her eyes fluttered close. She coughed a few more times, before just falling unconscious.

Kneeling before the girl, Haruhi muttered to herself with tears in her eyes, "This is all my fault..." I knew we shouldn't have come-why was she so insistent on us coming to the beach?

"Haru-Chan..." Mitsukuni spoke with sad eyes as he stared at his teary eyed friend. "Don't say that. Lexi-Chan tried to save you-"

"Which is exactly why she's like this now."

"Just...what..." Tamaki began, bangs covering his eyes as his fists shook at his sides-fear or anger, no one knew. They only knew that he was furious and scared and frightened to the very bones when he demanded as he glared at her, "What the hell were you two thinking!? Taking on two guys by yourselves-are you stupid? Neither of you are martial arts masters, nor have you won any diving competitions! You're trying to get yourselves killed! Alex-She-She almost ended up dead because she, and you, tried to take on two guys by yourselves! You would be in the very same position as her if she didn't risk life to dive in after you-why didn't either of you call us!? We were right here! We could've came to help!"

He had handed her to Mori a while ago and the male was watching silently as Tamaki lectured her angrily, out of fear and worry for her protection. Alex's near-death had scared, but if it had been Haruhi...He didn't want to think about it.

"Don't forget, you two are girls! You can't take on two full grown men by yourselves!"

Haruhi narrowed her eyes, face hardening, "Girl or not, I had to do something. I couldn't just let those girls get attacked and do nothing about it! I'm not the only one who thought that way-Alex most likely did as well! Besides, when your in a situation like that, there isn't time to consider-"

"Just think about it, stupid!"

"Well, I'm sorry, but I don't understand what I'm being lectured about! I don't think Alex and I did anything wrong!"

Tamaki narrowed his eyes darkly, tears having long been formed inside them, "Yeah? Then do whatever the hell you want. Because I'm not talking to you until you can admit that you're wrong!"

Nobody had noticed the twins and Kyoya by the unconscious girl's side, Kyoya on the phone with a Doctor while the Twins held her hands tightly, no longer surprised by their worry for the girl they had come to think as a sister.


Alex awoke in a bedroom, the lights off so the room was dark. She wasn't completely aware of her surroundings, her eyes dry and her throat sore. She could barely blink, it hurt so much. Her right hand resting on her stomach, she blearily looked around the room as she tried to figure out where she was.

"Want me to take your place, Alex?" The brunette froze, eyes darting around the room as she tried to find the source of the voice, "Ah...not yet, it seems...My bad. He says I can't yet. The Doctor made you better, though, I'm still worried..."

Akari. That damn Akari Ayuzawa. The selfless little Akari. If she even tried to do anything stupid like giving her arm up again, she's gonna have to smack some sense into her.

Alex laid there in the bed for a few minutes, exhausted and trying to recoup her energy. Lifting herself up, she flinched as she reached over and placed a hand on her abdomen, wincing. There was a nice big purple bruise on her right side, as was her right shoulder, both her knees, and her left heel. There were a few scraps here and there, but mainly bruises. "Fun..." Her voice was raspy, from the seawater, and she coughed. Making a pained face, she shook her head as she turned on the bed to where her legs were dangling off the edge.

The carpet was blue.

The blankets were black.

And the pajamas that lay on the end of the bed were purple and black.

Ah...Right...Nekozawa's...vacation home. Right-wait, I'm alive? Alex froze, in shock, "I'm-I'm a-I'm alive? Holy shit, I'm alive-!" She was cut off by rough coughs, quickly shivering and rubbing her arms. Damn it..."I-It's cooold." She shivered again, teeth clattering together. It was cold, but not as cold as those icy depths had been. She decided it would be best to put on the pajamas, as she was pretty sure that they were meant for her to wear.

Pulling off her swim suit, she put on the purple and black spaghetti strap tank-top and black shorts. Quickly stumbling around the room, her foot hurting a bit from the bruise on her heel, she managed to find a bathroom with her toothbrush and toothpaste already in there-probably courtesy of the twins.

Realizing that she should've taken a shower in the first place, she did so and re-put on her pajamas and dried her hair with a towel, walking out of the room only to stare in surprise at a wide-eyed Kyoya who was standing in the room looking at her in shock, shirtless.

Feeling much better than she did when she woke, when she spoke her voice didn't rasp, "Uh, hey. How's it-ey!" She screeched in alarm when she was suddenly slammed up against the wall, his left hand gripping her right wrist tightly as he pressed it against the wall.

"What is your problem!?" He demanded angrily, pissed off. Alex stared wide eyed, not expecting this to happen just an hour and ten minutes after she just woke up from darkness, "Were you trying to get yourself killed!?"

"I-I-" She couldn't speak, too alarmed to say anything. Swallowing, she tried to clear her head and think what he could possibly be angry about before it hit her, "How's Haruhi! Is she alright!? Did Tamaki get her out in time-is she-"

"Your the one who nearly died, damn it!" He growled, his grip tightening around her wrist as his face neared hers, "Why the hell do you insist on sacrificing yourself for others!? It's really starting to piss me off!"

She flinched, this being the most angry she had ever seen of Kyoya yet, "Sorry! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean-I'm sorry, but I couldn't just let her die-" She cut herself off and her eyes widened in shock when she felt him press his forehead against hers, his grip against her wrist loosening slightly.

"Damn it, Alex...Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it!" He growled, cursing repeatedly. Moving his hand from her wrist to her shoulders, he gripped them tightly for a moment as he muttered darkly, "You...damn...Moron!" He cupped her cheeks, lifting her head up to lock eyes with him as he leaned down so their faces were inches apart, "What were you thinking!?"

"I...I couldn't let them get hurt, Kyoya. I wasn't going to let those guys rape them, nor-nor was I going to let Haruhi drown." Alex couldn't speak-too many emotions were being thrown at her at once-it was-it was difficult to process. They were unpredictable.

The two of them understand each other, they respect each other, but when so many emotions are being tossed around, it scared her. She didn't know how to react. It frightened her. She didn't want to fight. She didn't like to fight-especially with Kyoya. She liked it when he told her that he worried about her, because it means he cares, but she didn't like being screamed at like-like...like she did something wrong.

That was the only way she could describe it. Wrong. Bad.

"Why-" She couldn't help herself from asking, slightly fearful of the truth. She hoped it was what she thought it was, but she also didn't want it to be what she thought it was because she really didn't want to find out in a situation like this if it was true, and if it wasn't true and it was something else entirely...She would be heartbroken beyond repair, "Why are you so mad at me? What-I'm-I'm sorry-What-What did I do?"

"You died on me." He growled harshly before closing the distance between the two, intent on getting the message clear. Her eyes widened, frozen stiff as her body became rigid. Slowly, her face started to become red...and redder...and redder... He pulled away and rested his hands against the wall behind her, leaning down so that he could rest his head on her shoulder, "I won't...I refuse to let you die again. I told you that you had a second chance at life..." Slowly raising his head up again, Alex could only blink in shock as he locked his nearly onyx eyes with her brown, "So don't waste it."

Slowly and unsurely, the girl hesitantly raised a hand up to his face and cupped his left (her right) cheek and brushed the clear liquid that streaked down his cheek with her thumb. She had never seen Kyoya cry before, and to be honest, she never wanted to see him like this again. Kyoya was one of the strongest people she knew, and to see him crying in front of her-screaming in front of her, it worried her.

Biting her lip, she stared up at him for a few more moments before leaning forwards and awkwardly placing her lips against his-only to jump at the sound of lightning crackling in the distance. A chuckle rumbled out of Kyoya's throat at her reaction, amused.

"Startled by thunder?"

"N-No, shut up!" She snapped, irritated all of a sudden. Why was she so annoyed? "Jerk..." She wasn't even able to blink before Kyoya embraced her tightly, holding her close and refusing to release her. "K-Kyoya?"

"Don't...do that again. I refuse to loose you- I won't let you go. You're mine, one way or another, I won't let you die or let anyone else have you."

Blinking a few times, she thought of what to say before asking in a slight joking tone, remembering a conversation they had a long time ago, "Since when were you so possessive?"

"Didn't you say that Scorpios are possessive?"

"Touche."

She then came to the realization that he was always there for her, but she wasn't always there for him. He always comforted her when she needed it...but where was she? Realizing this, the girl frowned, deciding this was the time when she would start to be there for Kyoya. He was always there for her-she needed to be there for him. So, in an attempt to comfort him, she stood on her tiptoes and wrapped her arms around his neck as best as she could with her short height.

It didn't last for very long though.

The sound of knocking on the door made them break away from each other, a dark red on Alex's face while Kyoya's eyes hid behind his glasses. Opening the door, Hikaru and Kaoru walked in, a certain lolita and Sasquatch behind them.

Alex screamed when she was suddenly tackled around the waist by Mitsukuni, who was crying. Even Mori looked sad as he looked at her, which was a strange look on his normally emotionless face.

"Lexi-Chaaan! I-I-I was so worried! You didn't wake even after Kyo-Chan revived you and-and-WAAAAAHH!" Not knowing what else to do, the girl awkwardly ruffled the boy's hair saying,

"I'm fine, see? Fine..." She tried to clear her mind of what just happened moments ago, or else she probably wouldn't be able to function properly. The boy snuggled his face into her stomach, shaking his head.

"No! No, no, no! No more doing that! Bad, Lexi-Chan-apologize, now!"

The girl was so confused at this point, but said anyway, "Uh...sorry?" She had no idea how to comfort anyone.

"You scared us, Alex."

"Again." Kaoru added to his brothers statement, voice firm and a frown on his face. He spoke, a sad and hurt look in his eyes, "Please, it's bad enough with Haruhi becoming reckless, but we nearly lost you."

"Yeah." Mori said, looking down at the extremely short girl compared to his height.

Alex looked down, her bangs covering her face, "Sorry...I...I just didn't want anyone to get hurt."

She flinched and reeled back when someone flicked her in the forehead, and she looked up to see Hikaru glaring at it with a stern look in his eyes, "Yeah, well stop being so stupid! You're gonna really end up dead and no one is gonna be there to bring ya back, so stop trying to be the heroine!"

Alex raised her hands up in surrender, stress lines forming on her face as she sweatdropped, "Okay, okay-got it, got it...Sorry. I'm sorry..." Her voice softened at the last sentence. She looked up in confusion, "Hey, where's Haruhi-?" She jumped at the sudden strike of lightning, startling her. She was scared of it, it just was really loud and came out of nowhere. She cursed loudly.

"Ah!" Everyone came to the same realization.

...

"Why are they in your room? Did you try and rape her?" Alex deadpanned, a sour look on her face as she stared at the scene in front of her.

Kyoya blinked and stared at her with a raised eyebrow, "Of course not. I was merely proving a point and left when Tamaki appeared to go check on you."

Yes, and see where that went- Her thoughts cut off, her face turning a bright red at the memory.

"You nasty pervert." Hikaru growled, utterly disgusted by Tamaki.

"What kind of foreplay is that?" Kaoru demanded, making a sour face.

Alex couldn't help but add with a face-palm, "Where the hell did you even get the blindfold?"

"Ah, this is really nice!" Haruhi commented obliviously, earplugs in her ears and a blind fold over her eyes, Tamaki hovering over her "suspiciously".

Even Mori and Mitsukuni had sour looks.

"It's not what it looks like! I swear! I was just trying to help-!" No one bothered to listen to him.


May 4, 2014

Hikaru warned the taller brunette, "You better watch your back, Haruhi!"

Kaoru nodded, an elbow on the limo with his fist on his cheek, "I never would've pegged the boss as an S&M pervert."

Alex had to comment as she got in after Kyoya, sitting in the middle, "I don't really see him as a masochist, or a sadist. If anyone would be a sadist, you'd think it would be Kyoya." She felt a chill run down her spine when he turned his head and asked,

"What was that, Alex?"

"Nothing!" She squeaked, slightly scared to talk now.

Tamaki fumed, "I told you; it wasn't like that at all!"

Getting in the limo and closing the door, Haruhi stared sourly at Tamaki from the window, "I see...Well, now I know what "S&M" is." Turning her head, she muttered as she rolled the window up, "I can't believe I almost let you get away with it."

Hikaru and Kaoru got in while Tamaki cried out in protest, "I wasn't doing anything freaky-I was trying to help you!"

"Your voice cracked!" Alex called to the blonde, grinning. She then turned to Haruhi, hugging the girl, "Don't worry, I'll make sure the big bad blonde stays away from you!"

"Yeah...sure." Haruhi had already apologized to Alex after she found out she was awake, and Alex forgave her-even though Haruhi had nothing she needed to apologize for.

"Let's go." Kyoya ordered the chauffeur, who took off and left Tamaki behind.

Tamaki screamed and chased after them, crying out in protest.

Alex blinked and stared worriedly at Kyoya, asking, "Are we just gonna leave him there?"

"He'll be fine."

She sweatdropped, only to have her face flare red when he looked at her because of the memory that rang in her head like a recorder.

"HEEEEY! Don't leave without meee! Wait you guys~!" Tamaki sounded like he was close to crying.

I'm not sure what I think of this chapter, cause I'm pretty sure some of you are gonna kill me for killing her off...AGAIN, but, uh, hey? KyoyaxAlex?
